He mentions that he has written a fastpaced story with gritty detail and brings to life that argonneloody meuse offensive when americans finally broke the back of the german army. Yockelson. Ome Mitch Yockelson good afternoon, everyone. It is great to see everyone and to come out here and to talk on the subject that doesnt get a lot of attention in the united states, and that is the united statess effort in the first world war. As he mentioned, we got into the 1917 as ail of partner to the allies and slowly build our forces until it turned into the climactic battle of rgonne, which is the subject of my book and the talk today. But the discussion largely centers around general pershing and how the battle formed and how it played out and ultimately , its success. Often asked, when did you begin writing this book . And what of my colleagues at asked me out in the hall today, a fewou write this years ago and decide to release this during the centennial . And no, i didnt, but we are in the
Exciting as the moonshot yet, but i have worked on robotics teams. People like me on the engineering side thought we were the lifeblood of the team because without the robots, we would not have been a robotics team. The humanities side, writers, artists, speakers, thought they were the lifeblood because without the community support, there would be no team in all. Both perspectives were right and never wrong. And they were wrong,. Engineering and humanities are opposite sides of the same equation. Technology is most valuable when it integrates human needs and desires, understands the impact on society, employs effective communication, and recognizes the human efforts that made it possible. As a student in humanities, i have had similar experiences. Students view situations through their respective lenses. Working for solutions on diverse teams. They have given us innovative classes, leadership and networking opportunities. And forums, like this one. It is our platform for making the mo

Meeting between the president and republicans at the white house. Senator or rin hatch said the ongoing fight on how to end the Government Shutdown continues to be a difficult experience. Senator Mitch Mcconnell called the talks useful, also at that big meeting, senator ted cruz who barely an hour before sitting down with the president gave his speech at the values voters summit, a gathering of conservative activists, cruz dug in and vowed to continue to fight to defund the president S Health Care law. So after leaving here im going to be going to the white house. Ill make a request if im never seen again, please send a search and rescue team. In my view the house of representatives needs to keep doing what its been doing which is standing strong. Cruzs speech was interrupted six times by hecklers, some calling on him support immigration reform. A new nbc news wall street journal poll shows republicans have been badly damaged by the shutdown and 53 to 31 , with the shutdown more than t
Brinkley. We are excited to have you at this event. Part of the Purdue University forum series. I am a sophomore in aeronautical and astronautical engineering and im a member of the perdue institute for civic communication. Or picc. Im a senior double major in Political Science and economics and im a student assistant to the executive director of the picc. This forum demonstrates the ssential links between the humanities and engineering. Going to the moon requires more than just science, as do solutions to most challenges facing our world. I have not worked on projects as exciting as the moonshot yet, but i have worked on robotics teams. People like me on the engineering side thought we were the lifeblood of the team because without the robots, we would not have been a robotics team. The humanities side, writers, artists, speakers, thought they were the lifeblood because without the community support, there would be no team in all.
